Flipping the light switch back on I casually walk to the center of the room, next to a table with several sharp pens on it in case that's necessary. Toby continues questioning me, but becomes silent when he sees the large student walk through the door. He's certainly large, probably a member of some athletic team, he isn't completely unintelligent as he has the sense to look around the room rather than focusing strictly on me. Rather than focusing on his opponent, he instead keeps his attention on the potential witness, "Leave." Toby looks between me and him, realization dawning on him, "What's going on here?" "Doesn't matter. Go." Toby stands defiantly, a very heroic gesture. He should probably shake that habit, it's liable to get him killed. "I'm not going anywhere." *choice #Tell him to leave; I don't want him getting hurt *set humanity +1 "I'll be fine. Leave." I tell Toby. He seems surprised, maybe even a little hurt, but it's better than actually getting hurt. Whatever the case may be, me telling him to leave has much more of an effect. "If you're sure..." He mumbles on his way out. The other student steps aside to let him leave peacefully. Whoever I'm dealing with, it appears he's more focused on me than on sating any violent instinct. "I appreciate that," I tell him, after Toby has left, *goto_scene 1-9fightlunch-2evade-3toby-2talk-1alone #Tell him to leave; I don't want a witness in case I need to act "I'll be fine. Leave." I tell Toby. He seems surprised, maybe even a little hurt, but that's irrelevant. I'd rather his feelings be hurt than having someone getting in my way. Luckily, me telling him to leave has much more of an effect. "If you're sure..." He mumbles on his way out. The other student steps aside to let him leave peacefully. Whoever I'm dealing with, it appears he's more focused on me than on sating any violent instinct. "Finally alone," I muse, after Toby has left, *goto_scene 1-9fightlunch-2evade-3toby-2talk-1alone #Tell him to stay; a witness may keep things from escalating *goto_scene 1-9fightlunch-2evade-3toby-2talk-1together
